Ok…so I started off the new blog in a bit of a funk. Hope I didn’t scare you all away with my “jaded” girl talk!
But funks don’t last forever…we all slip in and out of them during our lives and to be realistic — I don’t think that anyone can be truly happy every day of their life!
I’m well aware that I am riding life’s roller coaster so things will go up and down. Yesterday and today finally were on a upward incline.
Now, I’m not saying that things are great. There are still issues with GI-GUY but I’m just ignoring those issues because they will soon be going away and will be on my control. Now, I know you don’t know the background of GI-GUY but I’m sure at some point I will get into it. GI-GUY doesn’t realize the mistakes he made and that he could have simply avoided the pain he caused me with just a little bit more attention thrown in my direction. For now we’ll just chalk up his bad behavior to the fact that he MUST BE clueless! I’m sure there will be more on the drama with him later (there always is)!
Back to the upward incline…
Ok, this may sound cheesy but yesterday the upward incline started when I was walking in the parking lot at work and there was a dollar lying on the ground staring me right in the face. Who doesn’t love found money? It’s a dollar I didn’t have before and now I do. It made me smile.
Then my cell phone rings…and it’s my car dealer calling to make amends with that fact that he dealt me a bit of a raw deal when I leased my new car and turned in my old one. I went in to see him in person about the situation and he just played dumb…so I left in a huff and decided to write a nice long letter to complain (once I calmed down). He called to tell me that he received the letter and was sending me a check for the last payment on the old lease that the car company was trying to make me pay. WOW! I was in shock. He was doing all of this and I didn’t have to scream, cry, or run around the dealership jumping on the hoods of cars while yelling profanities?? What was the world coming to that I didn’t have to freak out to get my way? *LOL*
Maybe that part that won him over and made him do the right thing was the section of my letter that said:
This is my THIRD car with XXXX Dealership and my 3rd car bought directly from YOU. I referred a friend and was sending my mother in to purchase an XXXX from you. I would think that when I came into the dealership, distraught, with that letter/bill, leaving upset and in tears, that you would have reached out to me and tried to do something to rectify this situation. I guess I thought wrong and loyalty really means NOTHING in this day and age we live in.
Ahahahah…did I tell you I’m dramatic? Yes, it’s true. The cat is out of the bag. I’m dramatic sometimes…especially when I write a complaint letter!
Then today…without telling you a long boring story…I had one more thing that had to “pass” for me and it did! So, a found dollar and now have two less (HUGE) worries! Yesterday and today were/are good days.
On top of that I’m meeting SingleChildhoodGirlFriend for dinner and a drink tonight so that makes me happy! Just to get out of the house, have good conversation with a friend, over yummy “eats” with a nice drink sounds great to me. Keepin’ busy keeps me sane!
Then tomorrow it’s off to meet RecentlyDivorcedCollegeGirlfriend for lunch on my day off from work! YAY, I can’t wait! I haven’t seen her in SO LONG and we have so much to talk about since we are going through the exact some situations.
It will be interesting to hear what she has experienced in comparison to me and my situation. I’m shocked beyond belief that so many people my age are getting divorced in under 5 years of marriage. It just doesn’t make sense to me… She is one of 4 couples (including me) that I’m close with that have gotten divorced in under a few years of marriage and part of the leagues of people that I know that are VERY unhappy in their marriages. I guess society has made divorce too easy of an option for people to choose.
I’m not sure about marriage anymore…I don’t know what to think? I guess only time will tell!
After skimming through the The Date Girl Diaries blog that I found on www.blogcatalog.com I found the entry called “Refuse to Settle For Less Than Butterflies.” As soon as I saw it I exclaimed “YES!” and I started writing immediately!
She said: I have friends who are settling for comfortable, but I refuse to date a mini van. I want butterflies, fireworks, I want the big POW. I’ve had it before, I know it’s out there, and I’m not going to settle until I get it.
I so know that feeling, don’t you? I’ve had it before…I’m looking for it now and I REFUSE to settle! I won’t!
“Butterflies” are an indescribable feeling that you never want to end. They are thrilling and exciting and there’s nothing else like them. I’ll admit that it I love the feeling.
The simplest things can cause them to appear…a simple text message, a phone call you didn’t expect, the brush of their hand on yours, the scent of their cologne on your shirt, even a photo…it’s bliss.
The unfortunate thing for me is that in past the butterflies died a horrible death very quickly…but despite the heartbreak I’ve still got my net and I’m in search of more! I’m on a quest for whatever makes them appear in my stomach and when I find them I’m gonna try my damnedest not to let them fly away!!
Not to be cliché but shouldn’t we all be chasing butterflies?
